Többséggel

Többséggel is a Hungarian adverb meaning “by a majority” or “with a majority.” It is formed from the noun többség (majority) plus the instrumental suffix -vel. The term is used to indicate that a decision, action, or outcome was achieved with the votes or support of more than half of the participants.

Common contexts include political and organizational decision-making, such as legislative votes, corporate ballots, and referenda. Többséggel describes how an outcome was reached, rather than specifying the exact number of votes. It is often paired with verbs like fogadták el (accepted) or hozták meg (made). For example, A javaslatot többséggel fogadták el. A minisztert többséggel választották meg.

The concept contrasts with minority-related expressions, such as kisebbséggel (by a minority), or with terms denoting unanimity, like egyöntetűen. In formal or legal writing, többséggel is a neutral way to report the mode of approval without stating precise percentages; exact counts may be given separately (for instance, "54 szavazat többséget alkotott").

Usage notes: többséggel is versatile across parliamentary procedure, public administration, and organizational governance. It emphasizes the method of approval—the support of the majority—while leaving the exact share to be reported if needed. The term is common in Hungarian media, official records, and legal texts.
